Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said the Saudi regime is playing a negative role in most regional issues, Yemen in particular, stressing that Saudis have failed to reach their goals in the region.
"Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen for a year and a half now. However, as you can see, they (Saudis) have had no success in this war," Larijani said during a Saturday meeting with Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi, the secretary general of Hezbollah al-Nujaba, in Tehran.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
